custom screws

There's you problem! AFAIK desktops have 3 standard screws. Colossal, self-tapping screws for case fans. Coarse ones for power supplies and motherboards. Fine ones for drives.

Made to measure screws! I thought Henry Ford was the last man to make that mistake, and the Model T was before World War 2.

A wonder how much Apple paid to have this drivel written. I have been in manufacturing supply for 20 years and those parts would not have stopped production when all that was needed was to order them for the final assembly. And Apple with its trillions could not have figured that out?

This article is such drivel! I work in machining and there are 1000 swiss shops that could make that piece of shit screw 10,000 a day. Fake news.

Of course. Because they weren't going to import ANY OTHER PARTS. I'm sure every single component was going to be made in house or from domestic manufacturers...

That's definitely BS I'm a machinist and know of a dozen shops in a 30 mile radius of me that could make 1000s of that part, all day every day... NY Times is the enemy of the people never believe anything they say!

China is not just cheap. It’s a place where, because it’s an authoritarian government, you can marshal 100,000 people to work all night for you,” - article
